Finally! Incredibles 2 is out. Come on, Brad Bird, don’t keep us waiting so long next time. “Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is left to care for Jack-Jack while Helen (Elastigirl) is out saving the world.” Written and directed by Brad Bird, this film has so many great voice actors in it it would be silly to list them all, but here’s a few: Samuel L. Jackson, Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Catherine Keener, and Jonathan Banks.
